New artwork published at Flickr.com, Deviantart.com, x.com, Bluesky, and other sites. Also, new essay published as well, with more works in progress. The essay "Involuntary Celibacy and Domestic Terrorism" by Randy Gonzalez explores the phenomenon of "incels" (involuntary celibates) through a criminological lens, framing it as a form of domestic terrorism in the modern, tech-driven world. Gonzalez critiques simplistic definitions, emphasizing the complexity of human behavior and rejecting one-dimensional views that blame external factors like bullying or low self-esteem. Drawing from classical criminology, he stresses willful choice, personal responsibility, and free will over deterministic "demonic forces" or pseudoscientific excuses prevalent in fields like psychology and sociology. He argues that incels represent a regressive, nihilistic rebellion against adulthood, fueled by envy, immaturity, and self-imposed exile, which can escalate to violent, misogynistic acts. The piece critiques broader societal devolution, academic biases in the "social studies arena," and the influence of myths, conspiracies, and media on human thinking. Gonzalez advocates for introspective, evidence-based analysis, dismissing easy labels and calling for recognition of pseudoscience in behavioral studies.Essays and articles on related criminological and philosophical topics are currently in progress, including upcoming short stories that delve into themes of human devolution, personal transformation, and societal regression. New Short stories are in the works.
